Upgrading the IDRAC Firmware

Details

Here's what I did to upgrade the IDRAC firmware:

  • -open command prompt and run this command to disable Virtual Flash:
  • -type: racadm config -g cfgRacVirtual -o cfgVirMediaKeyEnable 0
  • -run the IDRAC update - around 10 minutes to install
  • -still in command prompt run the command to enable Virtual Flash:
  • -type: racadm config -g cfgRacVirtual -o cfgVirMediaKeyEnable 1

You can also upgrade the IDRAC firmware via the REMOTE access to the IDRAC. It seems to be easier. I don't know why that is so.
